General Mach Discussion / Re: m11 and m10 commands
« on: March 26, 2018, 03:03:07 PM »
To update on this I've found I've been fighting myself a bit on this testing on two dissimilar systems but neither having an actual physical LPT port and ending up with similar errors when exiting Mach3 when using M10 & M11. I've taken my old cnc control pc which does have a LPT and re-established connectivity to the router & laser diode still using M10P1 & M11P1 and all worked fine. In addition I've been able to remove the G4 from the Inkscape script.
So my best guess is that although Mach3 moves and fires the laser via redirection of the UC100 there's possibly a remnant of code that requires a physical LPT port in Mach3 when using the M10P# or M11P#??? IDK I'd be interested to know if anyone else has been able to utilize the M10P#, M11P# commands without error on any of their systems that don't physically have a LPT and using a UC100?
Thanks
